Step 8: Tires and Finish

My bike has S&S couplers (also known as S and S Machine Bicycle Torque Coupling) that allow it to be broken apart and packed into a normal-sized checked luggage box that flies at no additional charge. Getting it to fit is always a challenge, so I took photos to help me remember.

Your S&S-enabled bike will probably pack in a slightly different configuration, but you can still use this as a starting guide.

Step 1: Disassemble bike

Take off the brakes, the rear deailleurs, the cranks, the handle bars, and fork.
